byChapter 44
Because of the cooperation with TIE company in the next quarter, the translation department needs to do a lot of preliminary work. And the representative of TIE company has not come to IO, Xu Xingxing, who does not need to appear on the scene, is very leisurely.
In the morning, Chen Wanwan walked over while holding the document and shouting, "I'm so busy, I'm so busy." Xu Xingxing took over the document in her hand with a smile, and watched her sit on his desk with a hopeless expression.
"That's all that needs to be translated?" Chen Wanwan was too busy, and Xu Xingxing was going to share it for her.
Chen Wanwan was moved, reached out and hugged Xu Xingxing in her arms, and said coquettishly, "You are really my relative."
Xu Xingxing smiled and opened the file.
Because there was still work, Chen Wanwan only hugged for a while and asked, "Do you have time for Zhou Tian?"
Xu Xingxing looked at the document, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Do you have any plans for Minister Chen?"
"Hi." Chen Wanwan said briefly: "Lao Zhan, that friend, gave me two more tickets for Qingping Temple. How about it? Let's go wash the soul together with Zhou Tian?"
Amused by Chen Wanwan, Xu Xingxing thought about it for a while. After went to Qingping Temple last time, drink business was pretty good. My mother and brother were both healthy and safe. It felt quite effective.
"Okay." Xu Xingxing agreed.
Huaijing was looking at the document when someone knocked at the door, without raising his head, he said something in a deep voice.
"Enter."
The man at the door laughed, walked in and said, "So busy?"
Huai Jing looked up and saw Huai Yanghan in a suit. After changing out of his hip-hop suit and putting on a well-cut suit, Huai Yanghan looked a little more mature, but he had a similar appearance.
After glancing at it, Huai Jing lowered her head and continued to read the document, her lips curled slightly and said, "Not bad."
Knowing that he was talking about his suit, Huaiyanghan felt a little awkward. He twisted his tie and said helplessly, "Grandma insists that I wear it."
After Huaiyanghan finished speaking, he walked to the desk, put his arms on the desk, and looked down at the pile of German on the documents, his scalp tingling.
"How long do you want?" Huaiyanghan asked.
Turning a page of the document, the man lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyelashes played a half circle of light and shadow under his eyelids. Without raising his head, he asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
"Let's have dinner together, I saved a meal." Huai Yanghan said with a smile, "So I came to find you early after work."
Mentioning this, Huai Jing raised his head, looked at Huai Yanghan, and said with a frown, "Right now."
The first day of work was spent in a hectic and confused way. After clocking in and getting off work, Xu Xingxing took the elevator downstairs. As soon as they arrived in the lobby, the elevator next to them opened, and a bright voice came out, and two people stepped down from the elevator.
Both of them are tall, but the man in the black suit is taller. He is tall and straight, his facial features are exquisite and handsome, and his expression is cold. Zhou Zheng's suit makes him look elitist and extravagant.
The man next to him was talking, and it was he who made the bright voice. He was also wearing a suit, but looked a little more frivolous. He has a baby face, but it matches the suit on him. When he spoke, his face was beaming, as if he was talking about something interesting.
That cold-looking man was Huai Jing.
When Xu Xingxing looked over, he seemed to have noticed it, and raised his eyes to this side. The two made eye contact and then moved away from each other.
After a while, the two men walked out of the hall talking.
When Huaijing was at work, or in front of the company's staff, she always gave off a sense of unsmiling British gentleman, which made people unable to look away.
Xu Xingxing likes this kind of Huaijing. But what she saw was more of the way he was teasing her, with the naivety of a man.
Although childish, but also childish and cute.
"Wow, next to President Huai is Huai Yanghan, the second son of Huai Dong? Why are they both so handsome?"
After the two of them went out, people in twos and threes in the hall also began to discuss, mostly women talking.
"Yes, it's Huaiyanghan. I heard that Dong Huai called him back to help him. It seems that Dong Huai's eldest son was fired because of Lin Weiyu."
"Lin Weiyu's matter has something to do with Huaiyangping? Doesn't that mean it has something to do with Huai Dong?"
"Yes, I heard that it was Mr. Huai who stumbled upon us."
"The eldest son is useless, so the second son is called back. Dong Huai is going to crush our President Huai to death."
Xu Xingxing listened to the gossip around him, thinking about how Huai Jing and Huai Yanghan walked out just chatting and laughing. The two seem to have a good relationship, but outsiders can see what it really looks like.
However, Huai Changchao's sons came one after another, and Huaijing's situation would indeed become more and more difficult.
While Xu Xingxing was thinking wildly, she received a text message on her mobile phone. She took a look at it, and it was sent by Huaijing.
[Huai: Tonight will be a little late, wait for me at home, I will pick you up. 】
Touching the cold screen with his fingers, Xu Xingxing pursed his lips, typed a few words and sent them over.
[Xingxing: Mimi didn't eat, I'll go directly to your house and feed it first. 】
Because she had been at Huaijing's house, Mimi didn't take it home, so she and it stayed at his house all the time.
After taking a taxi, Xu Xingxing went directly to Huaijing's house. When he entered the password, Mimi was already waiting inside the door. Opening the door, Mimi strode over, Xu Xingxing raised her eyebrows with soft eyes.
Arriving in front of Mimi's nest, Xu Xingxing squatted half-squatting and refilled it with some cat food, then got up and went to the kitchen to make a simple dinner for himself.
After dinner alone, Xu Xingxing went into the kitchen with tableware and chopsticks, and washed the tableware and chopsticks. While washing dishes, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and looked out the window. Outside the window, the moon is about to become round, and the moonlight is bright and cold, illuminating the entire kitchen.
After washing the dishes, Xu Xingxing entered the living room.
When she was eating, it was still dark, and there was no light in the living room. But the moonlight flooded the whole living room, which illuminated the living room more clearly.
She stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the moonlit living room, and remembered the first time she came. At that time, the living room was even more deserted than it is now, and there was no popularity at all.
He usually just rests in the bedroom, this house is just a house, without the feeling of home, how can it be popular?
Not only here, but the mansion as well.
Looking at it now, the entire Huai family is broken. How can a good family maintain such a close relationship? What kind of mood should Huai Jing be in?
After eating cat food, Mimi walked to Xu Xingxing's feet, raised her head and meowed.
Looking down at Mimi, Xu Xingxing smiled and picked it up.
Huaijing said that he would come back very late, and Xu Xingxing was not in a hurry to sleep. Carrying Mimi to the study to pick out a book, Xu Xingxing went to the sofa in the living room and sat down cross-legged as Huai Wan taught her.
Although the moon is not round tonight, the moonlight is very good. Xu Xingkong only turned on two lights. Taking advantage of the moonlight and the lights, his heart became more and more quiet. Mimi sat on the side, and Xu Xingkong looked down with the book.
When Huai Jing opened the door and entered the house, she looked up and saw the woman on the sofa. The woman was lying on her side on the sofa, her figure was exquisite, and the moonlight was originally cold, but after it was sprinkled on her, she was infected with the gentleness of water.
She put a book in her hand, folded her hands under her head, and slept so well even when she slept.
Mimi was lying on the side of the sofa. When Huaijing opened the door and came in, she looked up at the door, and when she saw it was him, she meowed.
Huaijing's eyes moved, she glanced at Mimi, put her hand to her lips, and let out a soft hiss. Mimi understood, did not call again, lowered her head and licked her paws.
Putting his hands down, Huaijing got up and walked to the sofa, squatting down.
The woman was sound asleep, and Mimi's cry just now did not wake her up. The moonlight cast a faint shadow on her face, and the contours of her facial features became much more refined.
Is she waiting for him here?
Huaijing thought.
Just thinking about it like this, his heart, which was originally covered with wind and frost, seemed to be licked by the tongue of flame, turning the wind and frost into a hot mist, filling his heart.
Huaijing couldn't remember when he started caring about her. Even now, when he recalled all kinds of things he had with her, his mind was full of the shyness of her blushing face and bowing her head.
Brows softened, Huaijing stretched her arms into the woman's body. She was warm under her body, her body was soft, and with a little effort, Huaijing picked her up.
The woman in her arms was still sleeping soundly. Huaijing hugged her and went upstairs carefully.
When Xu Xingxing was put on the bed, he was a little more conscious. She squinted her eyes slightly, and turned on the lamp by the bedside, casting a vague and gentle mist on the man beside her.
She calmed down and said something.
"You're back."
There was still the sweetness in her voice that she had just woken up from.
With her arms supported by her side, Huaijing raised her hand and pulled the bangs beside her ear to one side, and responded softly.
"Um."
The man's voice was a little tired, Xu Xingxing thought for a while and opened his eyes.
His handsome face was right in front of her eyes, and there was no tired look. But you must be tired, right? After all, now that the Huai family is going to kill him, how tired he must be to deal with this alone.
Xu Xingxing's eyes softened, she looked up at the man and asked, "Are you tired?"
Under the light, the man's expression moved slightly, his lips were smiling, and his slender fingers touched her face gently, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Xu Xingxing was stunned, not knowing how to answer. Feeling distressed is not to mention, but it must be more concerned than ordinary people. As for how much he cared about, Xu Xingxing couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huaijing pursed her lips slightly and said, "I will be very busy recently, so I may not have time to accompany you."
It was as if a gust of wind had been stolen from my heart, a little cold and a little empty.
Xu Xingxing blinked and understood what he meant, she replied, "Yeah."
The tip of their noses touched each other, and their breaths were intertwined, ambiguous and blurred.
"Will you wait for me?"
Her scattered eyes refocused, she looked up at the man, her throat moved slightly, and she blurted out.
"meeting."
The smile in the man's eyes deepened, like flowers floating in the cold pool, he put his lips on hers and kissed them deeply.
The two didn't do it at night, they just cuddled and slept together. The breathing of the woman in her arms quickly calmed down, the sea breeze was raging outside the window, and the warmth inside the window was like spring.
This is the last peace in his heart.
His future is uncertain now, and he can't involve her in this dispute. He can't be her armor now, and he can't make her his weakness.
Huaijing has been very busy recently, and Xu Xingxing brought Mimi home. Without Huaijing, the life of one person and one cat seems to be a lot empty. And she used to be like this, and she didn't feel anything at all.
After dinner, Xu Xingxing hugged Mimi and read a book for a while. The room was small and warm, but inexplicably made people feel a little uncomfortable. Xu Xingxing hugged Mimi, took the phone over, and opened WeChat.
There was no news on WeChat, so she clicked on the circle of friends and swiped for a while. Brushing and brushing, found a line of Chen Wanwan's hair.
a big bowl
[May I ask if there are any better art studios in Xiacheng to introduce, the kind that can accept 5-year-old children. As long as the price is reasonable, you are patient with the child, and the teacher is handsome (crossed out). Qiuqiu, all uncles and aunties, help me and show my son the way to become a great artist (don't let him bother me at home)]
Looking at Chen Wanwan's circle of friends, Xu Xingxing first smiled, then remembered the Weiquan Art Studio saw when was drinking.
Xu Xingxing closed the circle of friends and found Chen Wanwan on the friend interface.
[Starry sky: A new art studio has opened on the second floor of the Jia Ting Apartment opposite my store. I think the teacher draws well. 】
[A big bowl: Really? How about the fee? What's it like in there? 】
[Xingxing: I only read the promotional posters, not the others. Let me take a look at it for you on Saturday. 】
[A big bowl: As expected of Kangkang's mother, I can't go there on Saturday, please help Kangkang's mother to explore the way first. 】
[Starry sky: Good. 】
Following Chen Wanwan's request, Xu Xingxing went to Heping Street early on Saturday morning. On Heping Street on Saturday, there were relatively few people in the morning, and there were only a circle of takeaway brothers waiting there, waiting for the shop to open.
The shops on Heping Street are open late at night, usually after 9:30 in the morning. Wuyin opened early. When Xu Xingxing went, he saw Du Yizhe opening the door, Huangfu Yiduo and A Jin stood beside him and looked up.
Huangfu Yiduo wore a black devil tutu today. The skirt, cuffs, and neckline were trimmed with bright red. Although it is a little devil costume, she is very cute. She also wears two red horns of the devil on top of her head, and even the makeup is devil makeup.
A Jin, who matched her, had a pair of black bat wings on her back. When she looked back at Xu Xingxing with her big ears drooping, Xu Xingxing realized that it was a cosmic vampire.
Xu Xingxing laughed when he saw it.
Ah Jin's ears and nose are dazzling, and as soon as Xu Xingxing came over, it trotted over. Huangfu Yiduo followed his line of sight, and when he saw Xu Xingxing, his eyes with black and red contact lenses lit up.
"Sister!" Huangfu Yiduo called out, trotted over and grabbed Xu Xingxing and hugged him.
Xu Xingxing was hugged by her, smiled and reached out and pinched her devilish little horn.
Xu Xingxing usually only comes here when he has something to do, and he only takes a look occasionally when he has nothing to do. He just came two days ago, and he came again today.
Du Yizhe asked, and Xu Xingxing glanced at the second floor of Jia Ting's apartment and asked, "Is that Weiquan Art Studio open now?"
"Open." Huangfu Yiduo nodded and said, "I often see a group of people covered in paint coming out of the elevator in the apartment. What's wrong, sister?"
"My friend's son wants to learn to draw, I'll come over here to see if it's suitable." Xu Xingxing said with a smile, "Are there any children?"
The studio has just opened, maybe it's just busy with other work now, maybe it hasn't started recruiting yet.
"Yes." Huangfu Yiduo continued to nod and said, "There is a group of them, big and small, who were led out by the teacher. Oh, that teacher is really handsome."
Huangfu Yiduo has been in Heping Street all the time, and Ah Jin is observing the movements on the street in real time, almost like the intelligence bureau.
"How handsome?" Du Yizhe next to him, wearing an apron, asked with a smile.
Huangfu Yiduo looked back at him and said with a smile, "No matter how handsome I am, I don't think Azhe is as handsome."
Du Yizhe's eyes lit up and he was in a good mood. He looked at Huangfu Yiduo and said with a smile, "Take your sister up there to have a look. Now I can't say anything."
Thinking of this, Huangfu Yiduo nodded and said, "Yes, sister, I'll take you up for a field trip!"
"Okay." Xu Xingxing said with a smile, "Thank you."
Huangfu Yiduo can be said to be very familiar with Heping Street. He took Xu Xingxing to find the apartment elevator and pressed for the second floor.
After getting off the elevator, Xu Xingxing glanced at the room number 206B on the single page. The rooms of Jia Ting Apartment seem to have three types of units, which are represented by ABC.
Type B is two bedrooms and one living room, with a room area of 70 square meters, which is about the size of Xu Xingxing's apartment.
At the door of room 206B, Xu Xingxing knocked on the door. Someone inside shouted and ran to open the door. The person who opened the door was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very handsome, with long bangs on his forehead, very Japanese.
"Hello." The boy's eyes moved, and after glancing at them, he said, "You are here..."
"We are here for inspection. The children of my sister's friend want to learn to paint." Huangfu Yiduo explained his intention with a smile.
"Ah, please come in, please." The boy opened the door with a smile, and got up to let them in. "My name is Zhuo Nian, and I'm a student of Teacher Bai Zhu. Teacher Bai Zhu has something to do. I'll be back later. Come and have a look."
"Okay, thank you." After Xu Xingxing thanked him, he entered the studio with Zhuo Nian.
The studio is mainly in the living room, and the living room is followed by a large balcony, and some drawing boards are piled on the balcony.
The living room is where the people in the studio do other work, and the master bedroom of the apartment is a small classroom with drawing boards, tables and chairs, and they are not high. It seems that the main students recruited here are all about the same age as Kangkang.
The master bedroom and the living room are facing the same direction, and the sunlight in the morning is very good, making the room warm and bright. The desks, chairs and drawing boards used for teaching are quite new, and there are a few paintings on the podium. With a few strokes, it can be seen that the skill is profound, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a horse.
Not knowing when Bai Zhu will come back, Xu Xingxing asked Huangfu Yiduo to go back first. It was rude to bring pets for the first time, so Ah Jin stayed in the store. Now that there are more and more people in Heping Street, Du Yizhe wants to sell milk tea and take care of A Jin, Xu Xingxing is afraid that he will not be able to handle it.
After Huangfu Yiduo left, Xu Xingxing watched the small classroom for a while, and then walked out.
After Zhuo Nian let them in, he went to the living room to continue painting. His name is Mr. Bai Zhu, and he should also be a student of Bai Zhu.
After Xu Xingxing walked out, he glanced at Zhuo Nian's painting. He was drawing a sketch, and there was a reference on the table opposite, an apple.
Although the boy is young, he is very good at drawing. The sketch of an apple is well depicted with light and shadow.
Xu Xingxing only watched it for a while and then stopped, for fear of delaying his painting. She went to the balcony and glanced down. From the balcony, she could see Heping Street, and it happened to be her shop. Du Yizhe was busy, Huangfu Yiduo was teasing Ajin, Xu Xingxing smiled and looked away.
After looking back, Xu Xingxing glanced at the drawing board on the balcony. In this pile of drawing boards, there is one drawing board standing there with a half-painted oil painting on it.
The oil painting shows a little girl running in a field with a dandelion in her hand. The little girl was wearing a bright red coat with two pigtails, and the dandelions were blowing in the wind.
Although only a back view of the little girl is drawn, the innocence and happiness of the little girl can be seen from this back view.
Xu Xingxing remembered the painting he saw on the flyer.
This painting should also be painted by Baizhu.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Nian, who had just finished painting, and asked, "Does your teacher Bai Zhu have children?"
Zhuo Nian smiled and said, "No, Teacher Bai is still single."
As soon as he finished speaking, when Xu Xingxing returned to the painting, Zhuo Nian suddenly shouted.
"Mr. Bai!"
Xu Xingxing moved his eyes and looked up at the door.
A man standing outside the door was about 1.85 meters tall. He was wearing beige trousers, a white low-neck sweater on the upper body, a light gray cashmere scarf around his neck, and a dark plaid outside. coat.
Similar to Zhuo Nian's feeling, he also tends to be Japanese. His hair is a bit long, but his eyebrows are not covered, and he looks fresh and clean.
Xu Xingxing has also chased after Japanese stars. This man gives her the feeling that she is a bit like Kashiwahara Tsong when she was young. The appearance and temperament are similar, as if they came out of the comics.
His eyes were very black, like obsidian, and he was staring at Xu Xingxing, his eyes were a little complicated.
Seeing him standing at the door, Xu Xingxing felt a little embarrassed. She just asked him if he had any children, as if he had overheard.
Asking others if they have children, those who don't know think she will do something to him.
Xu Xingxing pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Hello, Teacher Bai, I'm here to ask you about the fees for teaching children to draw."
This white bamboo has some artist's ease and refinement in his temperament, and he looks very cold.
After she asked a question, his complicated eyes disappeared for a moment, and he raised his eyes and asked.
"your child?"
"No." Xu Xingxing shook his head and said with a smile, "My friend's."
After listening to her words, Bai Zhu nodded slightly, pointed to the second bedroom next to her, and said, "Come to my office and talk."
The fee for this studio is not high, and the fees for several courses are considered low, not only in Xiacheng, but also in the art studios around the Jia Ting Apartment. In a place with such high consumption in Xiacheng, the tuition fee is only 20,000 yuan a year.
Not only Xu Xingxing felt incredible, but Chen Wanwan also felt incredible.
The two made an appointment to go to Qingping Temple together on Zhou Tian, and Chen Wanwan drove the car and said in surprise, "Twenty thousand? So low? The cost of paint is more than enough? Does this studio generate electricity for love and don't need to make a profit?"
When Chen Wanwan said this, she actually felt a little unreliable in her heart. In some art studios, tuition is low, but miscellaneous fees are high. In the final calculation, it is actually much higher than other places.
Although Chen Wanwan thinks so, Xu Xingxing thinks this studio is okay. Bai Zhu has no children, so he can draw children so vividly. It can be seen that he likes children very much. Moreover, the studio is right next to Wuyin. If Chen Wanwan is busy after class, she can stop at Wuyin and wait for her to pick it up.
"I think that teacher looks very powerful, and has the feeling of an artist." Xu Xingxing said.
"Artist?" Chen Wanwan widened her eyes and asked, "Are you handsome?"
Xu Xingxing was a little helpless, and said honestly: "He's quite handsome, like Bai Yuanchong."
"Fuck!" Chen Wanwan's pink heart popped out. Although she wasn't sure whether Kangkang would go there to study, but...
"I'll go check it out myself when I have time."
Xu Xingxing: "..."
Because the Spring Festival has just passed, there are many people who come to pray for blessings, and Qingping Temple is much more lively than when they came last time.
Xu Xingxing took the incense and worshipped with Chen Wanwan. When walking out of the temple, Xu Xingxing looked up at the marriage tree in the courtyard behind the temple.
In winter, the matrimonial tree still has lush leaves and looks vigorous and vigorous.
Last time, Chen Wanwan insisted on asking her for a marriage, but Huaijing looked at her after tying the marriage rope. Only then did Xu Xingkong know that Huaijing's mother was cleaning in this Qingping Temple.
Subconsciously, Xu Xingxing walked towards the courtyard behind.
Chen Wanwan, who asked Kangkang for a peace symbol later, saw that Xu Xingkong actually took the initiative to go to the marriage tree this time, and quickly chased after him, asking, "Why did you come here this time? Looking for marriage!"
Chen Wanwan's voice was not small. When she entered the door, the two people who were standing at the marriage tree in the door turned around after hearing her words. A man in his thirties, and a woman in his sixties, looks like a mother and child.
At the moment when the two turned their heads, Xu Xingxing was slightly startled when he saw the man.When Xu Xingxing was in a daze, Chen Wanwan clapped her hands and cried out in surprise.
"Mr. Yang, Senior Bai Zhu!"
The teacher Yang Chen Wanwan called was Xu Xingxing and her teacher Yang Wenyu who taught advanced German in college.Advanced German is a compulsory course, and it is a professional course. There are many courses. Yang Wenyu was very familiar with the students in the German class at that time.
Xu Xingxing knew Mr. Yang Wenyu and knew that Mr. Yang Wenyu had a son, but she really didn't know that Bai Zhu was Mr. Yang Wenyu's son.
When Xu Xingxing and Teacher Yang Wenyu greeted him in a daze, Chen Wanwan saw it. She took a photo of Xu Xingxing, and she hated that iron was not steel.
"Hey, Senior Bai Zhu, you forgot? He went to the classroom and waited for Teacher Yang to finish class, and he sat next to you."
As soon as Chen Wanwan finished speaking, Xu Xingxing stretched out a hand in front of him, with slender fingers and distinct joints.
She raised her eyes to look at Bai Zhu, who looked down at her, with a faint smile in his black eyes.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
